Im sure there is prrobably a better answer than this out there but if all elce fails try threa tape from a hardware store (used by plumbers to make joints waterproof, Im unsure about its heat tollerance but its used on hot water systems so it might be ok.

For anyone else with this problem, J-B Weld works fine and is easy to apply. It is rated to 600 degrees, where most products of this type are limited to 200.
